When Azul Ceballos was a child in Argentina, her grandfather taught her to germinate algarrobo tree seeds by holding them in cold mate tea. That intimate connection with nature's cycles sparked a lifelong passion. Now an artist and designer based between New York and Argentina, Azul creates experiences that reconnect children with the living world. She founded Wonderpath, a free bilingual ecology game teaching kids ages 3-12 about ecosystems through creative play. Beyond digital experiences, Azul works with natural materials, underwater recordings, and sustainable textiles—investigating añil indigo and biomaterials. Her work bridges art, education, and environmental stewardship.
